Thoughts from the Media Room: Dexter Season Six Episode One

From what I've read on the internet and from talking people, a lot of people were very unhappy with the last season. They didn't like Julia Stiles and that soured them on the whole thing. I don't get that myself, I loved last season.

For those that didn't enjoy last season, you'll have no worries this season. For you I say, Dexter is back!

The season starts off with what Dexter does best, hunt! Not for anyone, not to clean up a mess, not doing someone a favour, just a good ol' fashioned Dexter cleaning up the streets kill. It felt good to have to the good bad man back on the streets doing what he does best.

The wordplay between Deb and Dexter while discussing Nursery Schools for not so little anymore Harrison is quite clever as always, once again Dexter is talking about one thing and Deb is talking about something else. All while really talking about kind of the same thing with us yelling at the tv, "When is Deb going to find out?!?!?"

We're quickly thrown into a situation in which Dexter is totally unsuited and totally uncomfortable. Sequences like this are one of things that makes Dexter so great, seeing him trying to fit in with something normal everyday people do with ease, but it's just difficult for Dexter.

We're introduced to two of the bigger guest stars this season, Edward james Olmos and Colin Hanks. Boy oh boy, we're going to be seeing a side of Hanks we've never seen before. Good to see him outside of his element here and it looks like he'll be quite good in the role. Of course it'll be hard for anyone live up to the ultimate guest star from two seasons ago, John Lithgow. Maybe that's where Olmos will fit in.

Watching Dexter try and play flag football might be the most hilarious thing we'll see all season. Of course ending with the classic line that means so much in Dexter, I learnt football from my father. With the vision of Harry cheering on from the sidelines.

Woah, the first kill that Dexter investigates is a doozy for sure and it's going to be a great season going up against this mysterious killer. In fact, it took me back to the first time we saw a murder scene from the Ice Truck Killer in the first season. In induced the kind of shock that I had back then, like it was my first time all over again.

Correction to my hilarious moment of the season, that was just trumped by "Stop Talking Dexter" You'll have to wait for the scene, but I'm sure you'll seriously laughing. Flashbacks to another season one scene.

Holy creepy Panther Mask Batman!

It looks like this season is going to take a interesting look at religion and what it means in Dexter's life and what it means to him. How he see's religion, how others see religion and how others can be manipulated with religion.

This season kicks it off with a great start, throws it all up on the blood soaked canvass and starts to setup all the major pieces for where we going to be taking them. I loved last season but I still can't help myself from thinking, holy shit. Dexter is back!
